Following is summary:
Irish At irs.
The trial of William O'Brien, under
the Coercion Act, was concluded Sep
TENDER oath at Mitchellstown. The &C
cused was declared guilty and sentenced
to three months Imprisonment. Notice
of appeal from the judgment was given.
At the opening of the Court to-day Mr..
Carson, counsel cor the Crown, COM
planned to the Judge that Mr.. Tanner,
member of Parliament, had yesterday
within the Court called him ''mean,
ruffianly coward and had expressed
the hope that his head might be broken.
Mr.. O'Brien, replying to the charge
made against him of having used sedi-
tious language in a public address, de-
| clared that the Court was not competent
| to try him, because it was foreign in its
composition to the requirements of the
British Constitution At this point the
Judge stopped O'Brien, saying the dis
cussion OF politics would not be allowed
in the proceedings.
O'Brien thereupon declared that he
was the chosen representative of the
Irish people, and would advocate free
speech, when the Court again stopped
him.
O'Brien, in his speech of defense, said
the Crown was gl 'lty of having su =
pressed evidence favorable to him. The
Crown had withheld, for instance, notes
made by the head constable of defend
ants speech. In these notes, he said,
was recorded the statement that the
Irish party would give the Land sbill fair
play. Continuing, O'Brien justified The
Kingstown tenants on the ground that
evictions against them were commenced
on the eve of the passage of the Land bill,
and thus an attempt was made to defraud
the poor tenants of the benefits of the
measure. He admitted he bad advised
tenants not to give up without resistance,
and that he had declared that before
God and man they were justified in de-
Tending their homes.
LONDON, September 28.-The case for
the Mitchellstown police has been badly
damaged, if not smashed, by the evil
dence of the District Inspector, who de-
clares that some of the men fired without
proper orders. He hints that the County
Inspector was panic-stricken, and he
blames him for having given orders
without personally controlling the firing.
He also says he disapprOved of the order
to charge the crowd. Meanwhile, Ire
land is rapidly advancing on the road to
anarchy The Land Act does not work.
Evictlons are only prevented by the
action OF the National League, which is
tricts. The country is getting more and
more disorderly. The police are every
where baft1ed, while the English sympa-
thy appears to be on the increase. A
number of Liberal men and women have
gone over to Ireland to inspect the evic
tons and speak at the League meetings.
The Unionist press urges the Govern
ment to further activity.
The Chicago Anarchists,
eff those Anarchists are hanged their
wives will kill their children and then
commit suicide" said Mrs. Captain,
Black to reporter of the New York
"Wo Id" September 2Sth. china Van
Zandt has frequently ass~red me that if
her husband, August Spies, goes to the
scafold, she will die by her own hand
at the same hOr~. The other women
tell me the same thing. To let these
men live," Mrs. Black continued, twill
not result as disastrously as some people
pretend to think. But if they are hanged,
as Citizen Train says, there'l be sheol
to pay The workingmen regard the
men as hostages, and : they
don't get them back there will be Sc
rious trouble" According to Mrs. Black,
Miss Van Zandt is not alone IL her in
sane infatuation. She decIa' es that
beautiful and wealthy girl is in love with
Lingg. The parents of the deluded
woman had to lock her up to keep her
away ON the jail.
